White Cube presents Shao Fan (Yu Han) “Refrain”, on view at the Mason’s Yard gallery from 22 May – 27 June 2026. As the first UK solo exhibition of the artist, the show presents his recent works: rabbits, mushrooms, cabbages and other mythological forms emerge through thousands upon thousands of hair-like strokes. The muses settle slowly; time is unavoidable here.
